Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in English Language and Linguistics - Including Foundation Year

Our BA English Language and Linguistics (including Foundation Year) could be suitable for you if your academic qualifications do not yet meet our entry requirements for a three-year version of our social sciences courses and you want a programme that improves your skills to support your academic performance. Open to UK and EU applicants, this four-year course includes a Foundation Year (known as Year Zero) which is delivered by our Essex Pathways Department followed by a further three years of study in our Department of Language and Linguistics. During Year Zero you will study on our Social Sciences Pathway which will cover topics such as Analysing the Social and Political World, and People and Society. At the end of Year Zero all students who pass the Social Sciences Pathway will have a choice of which course to progress with. As well as BA English Language and Linguistics students on the Social Sciences Pathway could also study BA Linguistics or BA Sociology, amongst other courses. From Year One of BA English Language and Linguistics you will study how to analyse linguistic sound systems, word structure, sentence structure, meaning and language use, and apply your knowledge to the analysis of English.
